Troublesome Creek Stringed Instrument Co.

At Troublesome Creek Stringed Instrument Co., we're building fine instruments, using the best materials and people in the country. While deeply rooted in the ancient musical traditions of these hills, our work is driven by the belief that an individual can take recovery into his or her own hands, and then, build something beautiful. We are like no other stringed instrument manufacturer in the world; we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit, with our own school of luthiery. The people we train, both from the recovery community and the local labor pool, make some of the best guitars, mandolins, and dulcimers you’ll ever play!
